An ancient metal handicraft that originated in Persia and flourished in the 14th century under the rule of the Bahamani Sultans, Bidriware is at the heart of the inspiration of Ankur & Priyanka Modi’s first signature collection.
The craft uses a deep black alloy of zinc and copper, which is then beautifully inlaid with pure silver to create stunning patterns on various silhouettes of furniture, showpieces and jewelry.
Taking the seductive essence of this rich craft, twenty unique pieces consisting of long jackets, capes, gowns, skirts, draped saris, dhotis, anarkalis and lehengas, each piece is replete with luxurious fabrics like organza, velvet, types of silk and weaves laced with threads of silver & gold.
The designers have inculcated multitude of techniques on the garments with the heritage ones like mukaish and zardozi. Intricate pearls have been sewn into garments exquisitely
and painstakingly embroidered by hand.
